Is this keyboard mechanical?

No but it does have a mechanical feel. The keys have a slightly longer travel time.

No, but there is no ghosting that I have noticed and the macros work fairly well. It is however, Corsairs "economical" gaming keyboard so the plastic is a bit lighter and it does not have the weight of some of the more expensive keyboards out there. It also only has a single usb connection instead of some of the higher tier dual connectors. LED backlighting seems slightly lack-luster but I own one as a back-up for a keyboard I paid around $200 for. Overall, for the price it is a nice keyboard with a decent limited warranty. I hope this is helpful.

yes it is. i would appreciate more options for lighting but its worked fine thus far.

Yep, keyboard. This is a very heavy simulated wood desk. But I kinda like it. Enjoy

They are not mechanical, none of the buttons are. The directional keys and WASD keys just have grip on them.

As you may already know, it is not a true mechanical keyboard. It is clicky. Not as much a true mechanical keyboard sound and feel, but close enough. It is an excellent gaming keyboard though.

yes, unfortunately parts of it are. Aside from that from that fact, its otherwise a good product. For the price, I am still satisfied with it because it functions as intended. We got just so to be able to move the desktop around in the house. However, I don't think it would be very effective to work on. The keyboard slide is not the strongest. I will hold up as long as your not heavy handed. Best of luck to you.

By the way, the keyboard itself whether plastic or metal material is very well made. The travel is low, button press is medium to light, and it feels very natural to type on. It's one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever used.

Yes. Most of Logitech's gaming keyboards use standard keys, but the G710 is definitely mechanical; it uses Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches. My advice is to always try peripherals in a shop before you buy. Mechanical switches have quite a different feel (and sound) to normal keyboards, and keyboard layout is another very personal issue.

No, it isn't. FYI, the feel of typing is similar to a lot of keyboards I've used.

It is a wired keyboard. I would not recommend this keyboard. I have had my for 7-8 months now and the labels on the keys are wearing off already. Also, while the width is ergonomic they have made it harder to reach the number keys at the top as they have added an extra row of keys on the bottom compared to other standard keyboards.

It's more of a soft click. They have more depth than a laptop keyboard but it's nothing compared to a mechanical keyboard which is what it sounds like you're looking for.

Absolutely not! Not on mine, at least. It's keys are extremely easy to press and use, and feel much like a Hammond Organ (if you've ever felt one of those) haha!

I have not opened it up but I don't think it is mechanical. However, it is a good keyboard. The key have a good feel to them and they are pressed. A lot better than most non-mechanical keyboards. And for the money that you save it is definitely worth it. I use it for gaming. The backlight is pretty bright and the keys letters don't show in the dark so it isn't good for playing in the dark (which I am told repeatedly by my wife that I shouldn't play in the dark anyway). However, I really like the feel of the keyboard and the mouse is totally awesome. They both have long cords as well.

What is your definition of mechanical? This keyboard is can be programmed, has a small led monitor, which I use all the time. Keys are lit and and you can run your dvd and volume. Plus it has a full number pad. You can create macro commands for gaming. Keyboard is a bit old school, but I like it.

It is i would say. I got the red as well but you only hear a thump, while this has a mechanical metal like click. I wish I could compare it to my IBM m though side by side. Other than going unicomp, mx blue seem like the only alternative

Yes it is, but I wouldn't recommend getting this keyboard. After a few months of use, the keyboard started messing up and the keys would stick while in-game which made it very unbearable to play. Reinstalled the drivers, updated even, and nothing worked. I am currently using Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 which is fairly quiet and has great battery life.

For the most part it is. I don't really do a lot of extended typing so it probably would be as noisy. Seems to have gotten alittle bit noisier now that the keys have loosened up a bit.

If you mean does it have mechanical mechanism keys, rather than 'Chiclet' keys? Yes, it has what many consider 'old school IBM keyboard style' keys. I believe they are called Cherry MX Brown switch keys, and are not as noisy as some of the old switch keys but they do still make a gentle click to confirm they've been pressed.
